Angelic Soaps and Gifts Bath and Body Review

Angelic Soaps and Gifts is a black owned herbal bath and body business that specializes in handcrafting luxurious bath and body products from the best ingredients possible. I will be sharing my thoughts on the three items I received for review – body pudding, body lotion and soap bar.

Angelic Soaps and Gifts Bio

Angelic Soaps and Gifts was started in 2002 by Dieshawn Holmes after taking an enrichment class where herbal bath and body products were handcrafted. Her passion for the business immediately evolved, leading her to create Angelic Soaps and Gifts.

Angelic Soaps and Gifts Review

Body Pudding (Scent: Lavender Bliss)

Product Overview: Angelic Soaps and Gifts body pudding is whipped with African Shea Butter and lavender essential oil to pamper the skin. For centuries, Shea butter has been used to protect the skin and heal it of irritations caused by acne, eczema and psoriasis.

Product Ingredients: African Shea Butter + essential oils

Product Review: I love the thick and smooth texture of the body pudding. It is not overly greasy and does not leave behind waxy residue like some Shea Butter products. The body pudding has a soft whipped texture, thus it applies easily and absorbs into the skin really well. Hours after use, my skin remains hydrated.

I treat my skin a lot like my hair in that I apply oil based products to damp skin for best results. Therefore, I apply it to damp skin post shower to seal in moisture. On dry skin, its effective but not as effective for my skin type. Ya’ll know I have special skin. 🙂

Body Lotion (Scent: Lavender Bliss)

Product Overview: The Angelic Soaps and Gifts body lotion is handcrafted with skin pampering ingredients and African Shea Butter. The body lotion sinks into the skin, leaving it silky smooth skin each and every time. Contains Lavender and Lemon Essential Oils, thereby making it perfect for sensitive, dry skin.

Product Review: I am a fan of thicker products so my love is for the body pudding. My husband, however, prefers thinner products and the body lotion is what he enjoys most. The body lotion has a silky lotion texture and smoothly applies to the skin. My skin has a tendency to feel dry shortly thereafter when using silky lotions. For my husband, however, this lotion meets his needs.

Bath Soap (Scent: Cherry Almond)

Product Overview: The Angelic Soaps and Gifts cherry almond soap bar is handcrafted using the cold process method and includes African Shea Butter for conditioning and palm and coconut oil for moisturizing. Scented with tart cherries and nutty aroma of ground almonds.

Unrefined Shea Butter: contains unsaponifiable fats, vitamins and other elements that are great for the skin.

Olive Oil: hydrates dry skin.

Palm Oil: high in Vitamin E and adds hardness to soap to help them last longer.

Coconut Oil: hydrates skin and gives soap a richy, creamy lather.

Ground Walnut Shells: exfoliates the skin.

Product Review: The soap offers a nice lather as soon as water makes contact and it leaves the skin feeling moisturized. Although this soap contains an exfoliator for the skin, it does not leave my skin feeling stripped or irritated. The exfoliating action is gentle and unnoticed.
